1985-08-18 [[Lupe Pintor]] w pts 12 [[Juan Meza]], Sports Palace, Mexico City, Mexico - WBC. Referee: Octavio Meyran. Scorecards: 115-111, 116-110, 117-110. Turning the clock back at the age of 30, Pintor (122) shrugged off two bad cuts to floor Meza (122) three times on his way to landing the title. Twice in the fifth Meza was dropped from long rights and after doing well to come back he was again dumped by a vicious left hook in the tenth, but Pintor was so tired at this stage that the champion somehow struggled through to the final bell.
